About Mark
Mark Carlson earned a B.S. in Criminal Justice from Defiance College, then went on to receive his J.D. from Western Michigan University Cooley Law School. His undergraduate study introduced him to the intersections of law enforcement, courts and community safety. Law school added the doctrinal training and practical exercises that shaped his early approach to client work.
He is admitted to practice in Michigan and works as an attorney at Mike Morse Injury Law Office. His practice is grounded in the procedures and calendars of Michigan courts. He handles client intake, prepares pleadings, conducts investigations and manages discovery. His work involves both settlement discussions and courtroom appearances, depending on what a case requires.
At the firm he handles personal injury matters. That includes car collisions, slip-and-fall claims and other cases where people seek recovery for physical harm and related losses. He meets with medical providers, reviews accident reports and coordinates with experts when cases call for technical analysis. He spends a fair amount of time on negotiable issues such as damages and liability, and he does the courtroom preparation needed if a case goes to trial.
Colleagues describe him as methodical and straightforward. He writes clear demand letters and organizes case files so that facts and documents are easy to review. In client meetings he focuses on explaining options and likely outcomes rather than offering guarantees. He listens to what clients say about their injuries and then sets realistic next steps. That practical stance guides how he prepares for mediation, settlement conferences and trials.
Outside of direct client work, he participates in the daily operations of the office. He coordinates with paralegals, communicates with opposing counsel and keeps clients updated on key developments. He also works on improving how the firm tracks deadlines and evidence, aiming to avoid procedural mistakes that can harm claims.
He continues to practice in Michigan and is based at Mike Morse Injury Law Office. He currently focuses on personal injury litigation at Mike Morse Injury Law Office.
